The Green Bay Packers took home the prized Lombardi Trophy in their Super Bowl win.

The Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25. This was the Packers first championship since 1997. Aaron Rodgers took home the game’s MVP award by completing 24 out of 39 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns.

The Packers started off fast by scoring 14 unanswered points and played well enough to stave off a furious Steelers rally in the second half. The game was decided with under a minute left in the fourth quarter on 4th and 5. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw an incomplete pass to wide receiver Mike Wallace.

After some controversy on whether or not Wallace was interfered with, replays showed that the pass was clearly incomplete and the Packers started to celebrate.
